To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, EARLE H. PRATT, a citizen of the United States,residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State ofT/Visconsin, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in DraftAttachments; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and exact description of the invention, such as will enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to draft attachments for plows and otherimplements having draft poles or beams; and it consists in the novelconstruction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully describedand claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a plan view of the draft attachment. Fig. 2is a front view of the draft-arm.

A is a draft-pole, such as the beam of a plow used in cultivatingorchards. B is an arm having a lug b at one end, which is secured to oneside of the end portion of the said draft-pole by bolts 0. C is aprojection at the other end of the said arm, which is arranged at anacute angle to the said arm and provided with a screw-threaded portion(1. D is a rod which has a screw-threaded portion 6 at one end, and thesaid screw-threaded portions (1 and e have their screw-threads arrangedright and left. F is a turnbuckle which couples together the saidscrewthreaded portions. The other end of the rod D is provided with alug g, which is secured to the draft-pole by a bolt h.

The end portion of the arm B nearest the projection O is provided with aseries of holes 'i, and the lug b is provided with a hook j, whichprojects forwardly from it.

I is a chain provided with a shackle k at one end, the pin of whichengages with any of the holes i. The other end of the chain is adjustably connected with the said hook, and the middle part of the chainis provided with a ring J for connection with the harness of the animalused to draw the plow.

This device is specially useful in plowing Orchards and for plowingclose up to fences, but may be used in any other way, as may be foundconvenient.
